Nintendo is increasing the price of the original Switch in Canada
www.engadget.com
A Nintendo Switch is going to cost more in Canada starting in August.

That’s right, for hardware that’s now eight years old and never got a price discount. It currently sells for C$400 – but they’re about to jack the price.

There are Android tablets that are much cheaper than the Switch, more powerful, more battery efficient. Also, play games better.

Yet, Nintendo is jacking the price.

    You can get a Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (with a pen) for C$330. It has better GPU performance than a Switch.

    You can play games like Genshin Impact, PUBG Mobile, and Sky: Children of the Light pretty damn well.

      Thanks. Does it work well with controllers, or do people mostly play with the on-screen joysticks?

        Yeah, you can hook up a Bluetooth controller just fine. Lots of them available.

        You can emulate too.
